Chris Jericho had some words for individuals who were criticizing his Instagram post where he dedicated his Wrestle Kingdom match against Kenny Omega to his “fallen brothers” Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin was mentioned by name, where Jericho told Satin “he can go f*ck himself” after he sent out the following tweet:

For those who don't remember, Chris Benoit murdered his wife and their 7-year-old child. https://t.co/SgDe9QMyMJ

Here is footage of Jericho’s remarks:

Taz opens today’s show speaking about the recent angle between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega in NJPW. He loved what those two guys did here, and Jericho’s surprise appearance in Japan really shocked the live crowd. However, he didn’t like how Kevin Kelly and the commentary team handled this. Jericho was back on to the camera so the viewers at home couldn’t tell who it was initially, yet the announcers began screaming “Oh my God, it’s Jericho!”

Taz says that commentators need to use their monitors because that’s what the viewers at home are seeing. He recalls McMahon telling him and Michael Cole in their ear pieces to look right into their monitors because a surprise was coming and he wanted the announcers to react to what the viewers were seeing at home.

He points out that NJPW is usually great at keeping secrets, but he can tell by the way that they called the action that the commentary team knew Jericho was going to make an appearance. If Taz was running NJPW he would have kept this from the commentators so they would have reacted organically like a fan.

He credits Jericho for his great beatdown of Omega, and he adds that Omega sold all of Jericho’s offence  wonderfully. The entire thing felt old school and Taz calls it ‘badass’. Jericho is the perfect guy to pull this off in Taz’s opinion because he has the experience and knowledge, and he knows exactly the kind of heat that was needed to make this angle work.

X-Pac opens today’s show speaking about WWE’s suspension of Rich Swann amidst domestic violence allegations. He hopes that the reports aren’t true because if they are this is a terribly tragic situation for many reasons. He recalls WWE suspending Kevin Nash for a similar set of circumstances right before his Hall of Fame induction a couple of years ago, so there’s no denying that WWE is steadfast when it comes to their zero tolerance policy regarding domestic violence.

X-Pac thought the recent interaction between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega in Japan did wonders in building hype towards their match at WrestleKingdom 12. He wonders if we’ll see a rematch between these two when NJPW visits the United States in the new year.

He points out that Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss made history last week by wrestling a match in India. The women have been doing incredible things over the last couple of years and they continue to break down barriers. Being the first two women to wrestle in India must have been an amazing feeling for those two women.

Hiroshi Tanahashi Injured

NJPW has announced that Hiroshi Tanahashi has been injured. The knee injury will keep Tana off the upcoming Road To The Dome Shows. It is unknown at this time if this injury will have any impact on Tana’s scheduled WrestleKingdom 12 IWP Intercontinental Title match with Jay White.

NJPW World Tag League 2017 Winners

Today, EVIL and SANADA won the 2017 World Tag League, winning a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles at WrestleKingdom 12 at The Tokyo Dome on January 4th. There’s only one little problem with them winning: they are 2/3 of the current NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions.

Well, NJPW has a solution for that problem. On the Road To The Dome show on December 17th in Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, BUSHI, EVIL, and SANADA will put their 6-man titles on the line against Bad Luck Fale, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa. And, there’s a good chance that the Bullet Club will walk out of Korakuen the new champions.

WrestleKingdom 12 Presser

About an hour ago, Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho had a mini-pres conference for their upcoming match at WrestleKingdom 12. To say things got intense and ugly is putting it mildly. There were reporters tossed around, furniture thrown around, and general mayhem. You can see the whole presser for yourself in the video below.

Talk about surprises. Chris Jericho made a shocking appearance at tonight’s NJPW World Tag League Final. At first appearing in a pre-taped vignette, when the lights came back on, Jericho was standing behind Kenny Omega and proceeded to beat the hell out of him, bloodying him up in the process with several shots to the head with the IWGP United States Championship.

No one really expected Jericho to make an actual appearance in NJPW until WrestleKingdom 12, so his showing up tonight after Omega’s match was more than a shocker. Even more so was that Omega got little to no offense in, and his tag partners, The Young Bucks, were nowhere to be found.

After Jericho was done with Omega, he attacked Don Callis, who had come in the ring to check on Omega. Callis ended up being stretchered out, while Omega was helped to the back by The Bucks.

One can only think that Jericho will make at least one more appearance during the upcoming Road To The Dome shows coming up this month, and this time, Omega will be prepared.

Omega and Jericho are scheduled to face off at WrestleKingdom 12 on January 4th at The Tokyo Dome at NJPW’s biggest show of the year.

Ross comments on the news that Jack Swagger has signed with Bellator MMA. He’s happy for Swagger and he hopes he has a long, successful MMA career. He believes Swagger’s success will depend on his eagerness to get back in wrestling room and get himself into top notch shape, but he assumes Swagger will do exactly that. He also urges Swagger to hire good striking coach.

He points out that this week marks the 12th anniversary of Eddie Guerrero’s death, and he sorely misses him. When he worked as WWE’s Head of Talent Relations he’d often have chats with Guerrero, who could be moody from time to time. Those talks meant the world to Ross, and he looks back on them fondly. He says Guerrero was a spectacular performer who loved the business and his family.

Ross welcomes Chris Jericho to the show.

Ross informs that he’s going to be a guest on the upcoming Jericho Cruise and Jericho mentions that business is really starting to pick up as of late. He believes the cruise will sell out, but he’s more worried about building this into an annual event that fans can look forward to each year. He points out that this is an all inclusive event which also gives you the chance to meet and socialize with some of wrestling’s biggest names.

Ross asks Jericho if Vince McMahon knew about his upcoming match against Kenny Omega before it was officially announced. Without getting into the fine details, Jericho says that he’d never jeopardize his relationship with McMahon by surprising him with this news.

Daniel Bryan On Returning To The Ring

Daniel Bryan is talking more and more these days about returning to the ring. Busted Open Radio caught up with Bryan this past weekend, and he’s confident he will return to action…but probably not for WWE.

“I think there is an 85% chance that I will wrestle again, my wife says it’s 100%. That’s not the case, if I get a test that says I shouldn’t wrestle again, then I won’t wrestle again. So I think there is an 85% chance that I will wrestle again. I would say that there is about a 20% chance that WWE will clear me to wrestle. It’s a small chance, but it’s not an impossible chance.

“I know that they [WWE] want me to wrestle. There’s just a lot of stuff that has to happen for me to be able to wrestle. One of the things about an independent schedule is that it would be easier. But I think if WWE were to clear me, they’d give me a little bit of a lighter schedule. We’re not running as hard as we were in 2013 where you’re doing both shows [RAW and SmackDown].”

Despite what Bryan says, I don’t think we will ever see Bryan wrestling in a WWE ring again.

In 2013, #SDLive GM @WWEDanielBryan wrestled 227 matches for the #WWE. He says if they were to clear him, they’d likely give him a lighter schedule, but is only 20% confident that he’ll be cleared. pic.twitter.com/IiQoowWDjT

Chris Jericho On Alpha vs Omega

Chris Jericho continues to hype his WrestleKingdom 12 match with Kenny Omega, and he thinks that the match will be bigger for NJPW’s big show than it could be for WrestleMania.

“I think just the fact that if Kenny left New Japan tomorrow and I went to the WWE and we had the same match at WrestleMania, it wouldn’t have the same mystique about it because there’s something about it now where everyone knows that Omega is so big in Japan and Jericho has a history in Japan, which is another thing I liked about it. Kenny and I’s careers mirror each other; I started in Japan, I grew up in Japan, I’ve been there 60 times, so there’s a big history of Jericho in Japan as well that started before I ever went to the WWE. So there’s a combination of a lot of things that make this very special and a once-in-a-lifetime type of matchup. I think if it was in the WWE, even if there was no restrictions, it still wouldn’t be as big because it’s still WrestleMania in a WWE ring. This is different, it’s over in Tokyo, it’s at the Tokyo Dome fore New Japan Pro Wrestling. I think that adds to the intrigue and the mystique of the match right off the bat, as well.”

.@IAmJericho tells @bullyray5150 & @LarryDallasSXM that he vs. Kenny Omega happening in Japan is truly a special, once-in-a-lifetime match and has a unique mystique about it happening in Japan rather than the United States. pic.twitter.com/sB1WQnBiho
